About this listen
In this episode of Health Reframed, I sit down with Dr. Fred Hoerndli, a neuroscientist whose research has helped uncover how reactive oxygen species, calcium signaling, and AMPA receptor trafficking shape learning, memory, and synaptic plasticity. We explore how these microscopic mechanisms might lay the groundwork for big-picture changes in medicine—like the rise of personalized treatments informed by genetics and real-time cellular monitoring. We also dive into where neuroscience is heading, how AI might augment discovery (or disrupt it), and the philosophical tensions that will inevitably emerge. And before we wrap up, we even touch on some favorite science fiction books! This episode bridges molecular detail and big questions, grounding the future of medicine in the inner workings of the cell.
